• Delivering training – develop and present training sessions for staff, from inductions for new starters to targeted briefings for finance, HR, or procurement staff, or Board briefings on corporate offences.
• Undertaking proactive exercises – deep-dive reviews into identified fraud risks to test controls and strengthen procedures.
• Receiving fraud referrals – manage complaints from staff, managers or HR; coordinate with the organisation’s reporting lines (e.g., Freedom to Speak up Guardian).
• Receiving referrals of fraud/bribery, identifying losses/gains, lines of enquiry, and determining proportionality for investigations.
• Information requests – submitting data protection requests for evidence; liaising with witnesses, taking statements; undertaking interviews under caution; preparing case papers for CPS.
